Paris Leggings

Posted by pece at 4:20 AM

PB reader Jay L. sent me this photo, saying, "New York girls are wearing the same look as Paris girls!" I took a second look and noticed the bare legs.
You don't see bare legs often in Paris.

Except in Summer as
grace mentioned in the comments. I saw them exactly one time with these lace-up heels...
(Not my photo) but from the Spring shows-
Here lace-ups are shown with black leggings.
And in H & M's Paris windows with woolly leggings. Go inside and try to find those woolly leggings...ahem I dare you. I couldn't.
On the street you see...
A ton of BLACK leggings/tights/with feet and without but black.

Here a double set of leggings -

The guy with the Pierre Herme bag is about to lose it gaping at these leggings. OK we were all gaping - I was on the other side of the track and a Metro was coming and I nearly fell in...

More legs with leggings from a French style guide...

Cable-knit leggings in H & M's windows (pronounced ash n' M)
I couldn't find those either...

A PB reader asked me to please look for colored leggings in Paris...

I found them on this kid (gosse)

And in...

A lot of shop windows...

Only a few Frenchies were actually caught wearing them...

Were they trying too hard?

Purple leggings AND purple scarf here?!

Here's a French girl window shopping (leche-vitrine) but would she be caught dead in these violette leggings? I wonder. The French are pretty conservative and stick to their grey and black.

Period.

Looking is one thing.

Wearing is another. Hmmm...

What do you think?

One thing you'll see in Paris completely bare-naked and happy to be so is these Pierre Herme macarons in a see-through bag. No complaints here unless you're planning on bringing them home on the plane - then cover them up in a protective box.

Or eat immediately!

BONJOUR PARIS LEGGINGS!
